FAQ
Switching from UptimeRobot
Is PulseGuard a good UptimeRobot alternative?
Yes — PulseGuard provides the same core uptime monitoring (HTTP, SSL, DNS, TCP, Ping), status pages and alerting, and adds SEO/GEO ranking, an SSH portal and AI server management, so you can replace a monitor and a separate SEO tool with one platform.
Does PulseGuard monitor uptime like UptimeRobot?
Yes. It checks your endpoints as often as every 30 seconds from multiple global regions, confirms outages across regions to avoid false alarms, and alerts via email, Slack, Discord, webhooks and PagerDuty.
What does PulseGuard add that a pure uptime monitor doesn't?
PulseRank — autonomous optimization and rank tracking across Google and AI answer engines — plus a browser SSH portal, AI server diagnostics, and algorithm-optimized social posting (Reach).
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 monitors, a status page, SSH access and SEO tracking, with no credit card required.
Can I monitor uptime and improve my search ranking in one tool?
That's the point of PulseGuard — uptime monitoring and autonomous ranking live in the same dashboard, so getting found and staying online aren't two separate subscriptions.
